how much difference did governor romney make wednesday night. >> look, i think governor romney had a master theatrical performance just this past week but the underpinnings and foundation of that performance were fundamentally dishonest. look, he walked away from the central tenet of his economic theory by saying he had no idea what the president was talking about. ten minutes after the debate even his own staff is walking back his answers on health care and pre-existing conditions so, look, i don't want to take anything away from what i think was a masterful, masterful performance by governor romney but i don't think governor romney's positions have changed and i don't think fundamentally the campaign changed. >> what happened to the president wednesday night? you've seen all the reviews and i'm sure the president has seen the reviews, as well. "new yorker" cover there, shows the empty podium next to mitt romney. the basic line is the president didn't show up on wednesday night. i just want to know when did he know he was beat? >> well, look, george, i think the president understood

paul ryan voted for and and mitt romney opposed it. >> greta: the president admits he had a bad night. how does he recover? >> he has a sports mentality. i think it was smart to publicly deny. you can't deny it. there is no doubt about it. i think he is champing -- chomping at the bit to go at romney. but the obama campaign of attack romney, after he won the debate. i thought that was an odd strategy because we will have to see president obama on the attack. that's what chris christie is shrewdly setting up, saying we will see the president be mean in the next debate. that's where obama has to be on the attack, but also not look too mean because he does have the likeable edge over mitt romney. he can't lose that. >> greta: how do do you that being on the attack, look presidential and want look mean and angry? >> it's really tough, greta. >> this is the problem. when you lose the first debate, al gore learned this in 2000. it can get in your head. he sighed too much the first time and the second time tdidn't work well. the third time, you try something else. it looks like you are tryin

. >> mitt romney told shawn hammett the last night that that was a bad mistake, that 47% thing. he says he was sorry. >> i never said this on television, but nina is right. she stumbled on the truth when she said that obama is not a good debater. it is not that obama was off his game, that is his game. if he does not have a prompter, he is not good. you see it in his press conferences where he does not have a prompter. he has never been good at conferences. he rambles. the press has been unimpressed with what he does. he can decide how long he wants to take for an answer. this is who he is. it is going to be at a town hall the next one. he has more ability to connect with an audience than romney, so he will have an advantage in the second debate that he did not have been the first. >> would you rather be good or lucky? 7.8% unemployment rate. that is pretty good news. >> unless you actually look at the numbers. if you look at those getting new jobs, aut 114,000. the need to have 150 to stay at the same rate. what has been happening is you have people leaving the work force, reti

that's what romney did last night. he was solid. he's in there. biden is going to flick all around and he's going to do all this little crap stuff. but he's insecure intellectually. anyone who pronounce it is tells me that he's afraid of his own brain power. they have ted olson simulating biden in the debate prep with paul ryan. i don't know how you simulate biden. you must have an unlit pilot room in the rehearsal space or unlit pilot light in the rehearsal space. that's how ted olson dumb it is down of the when they put that final hair plug into biden, they went in a little too deep with the ratchet, and i think they severed a discernment lobe up front. when he has to get out of the bubble, when he has to get out of the bubble at the end of this term and go back into the real world, he's going to be more screwed than jimmy witmore on the shahshank connection bagging groceries. he won't know how to be in the outside world. >> bill: you don't really like the vice president, do you, miller? >> i didn't like that in chains thing, billy. that's crap!
